Latavius Murray Fantasy Outlook with Injured Dalvin Cook Reportedly Out 2 Games

Latavius Murray may be in line for a sustained run as the Minnesota Vikings' starting running back because of Dalvin Cook's nagging hamstring injury.

According to ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin, league sources believe Cook will miss Minnesota's next two games—contests against the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions—before the Vikings have their bye in Week 10.

With Cook still on the shelf, fantasy football owners have to be wondering if Murray is a no-doubt starter.

The answer is yes.

Unfortunately for the Vikings, injuries have hampered Cook in each of his first two years.
